How much do auto insurance agents make there first year?

What'-s the average for starting license auto insurance agents? Do they only make commision or hourly too? Are the leads provided. Is it a hard industry to get into?

Breaking into insurance sales is very tough. Many agents have parents who own agencies, and learn the business that way. Many more work for an insurance company in marketing, etc. This allows them to learn the business, and then they can buy out an agency. There are a few companies that are willing to hire and train you. But those opportunities are few.The best way for a person without connections or years of experience to break into the field is to get a customer service rep (CSR) position at an existing agency. The pay isn't great, but the knowledge you gain will help you work your way into an agent position.Agents work for commissions only. This is why there is a high failure rate. It take awhile for an agent to build up renewal commissions to be able to earn enough money to live on. As for leads, some companies are better than others. But in the end, if someone has a solid lead, they aren't going to give it to you, they will take it themselves.Source(s):Years and years in the business

Texas- Whatever you are able to hustle up, that is what you are paid on. Agents are commission only, sometimes with a supplement from the company that must be repaid if certain sales goals are not met. Become an agent only if you have the time and financial means to weather the first 2-3 years. The turnover rate is high because it is hard to build a book of business. But once you do, the sky is the limit. Also, you MUST be a people person and be able to handle rejection on a daily basis. You will get abundantly more "NOs" than "YESs" over the course of your career. As for leads, don't ever count on someone else to provide you with your bread and butter. If leads are given, take them. Plan on getting nothing but what you work for.

Leads are not usually provided. Average is probably about $5,000, because MOST wash out the first year. Those who make it into a second year, probably make about $30K on auto.It's usually straight commission.Source(s):agent, 21+ years

Where's a good place to get insurance in the UAE?If you're looking for good rates, go to an independent broker. They have links with all the major providers and shop around for the best rates. I switched mine through Gulf Insurance Consulting last month, very speedy service and great staff

Where can i get cheap auto insurance in mass ?You should go to an Independant Insurance broker, they can search multiple companies and smaller carriers for you....unfortunately, you are HIGH risk for most of the major carriers. The good part is that you would see a nice decrease at 21.
